Hakim Warrick Posterizes Raja Bell & Paul Millsap - Video

 Hakim Warrick simultaneously posterized Raja Bell and Paul Millsap of the Utah Jazz on Thursday night. Warrick finished a strong pick and roll off of a pass from Steve Nash that led to the devastation of Bell and Millsap. Nash shook Al Jefferson and Deron Williams to set up the play.
 Phoenix misses Amar'e Stoudemire a little less now that Warrick has taken over as thunder dunker of the Suns. The Suns won 108-92. Warrick finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds.
    

Gone Clubbin' - Utah Style

Not a lot makes sense about the Jazz. Kirilenko's wife lets him have a pass to cheat, but it ain't like he's Kobe Bryant ordering hamburgers. Carlos Boozer arrived in Utah with controversy and could be out with his main mission unaccomplished. Coach Sloan is a master of taking one step forward but the franchise always counters with one step back.

Now they've been swept out of the playoffs by the Lakers. Even though I'm not sure about the dance moves of the Jazz girls, it's still time for Kyrylo, Kyle and Kosta to go clubbin'.

For the rest of us, here's a cuter Kirilenko.

Silencing The Jazz

                           

Jazz fans came out full force to try to heckle Kobe and company into a bad performance in Game 3. They thought they could rile him by busting on his fashion sense.

But the Utahans were ambushed when AK-47 went metrosexual in his return to the lineup. He thought he could be a better Kobe Stopper by getting into the mentality of a Los Angeles fashion plate.

Ron Artest thwarted his efforts by beating the hairspray out of him.

Mr. Pink Shirt & Red Boots led a chorus of hate on Ron. Again to no avail as Artest busted trey after trey in his grill. Pinky's jeans show he spends a lot of time on his knees, so he's used to this kind of treatment.

Outraged, Khaki Man took a stand by furiously hurling invective even while the rest of the Jazz fans began to accept their fate. Josh Powell bit his lip to keep from shooting a silencing low elbow.

Once Pinky, Khaki Man and the Jazz Clan calmed down, Powell joined Coach Jackson in his 4th quarter yawn ritual. Jim Clemons, Adam Morrison & DJ Mbenga prepared to join them using the covered mouth approach.

With the game on the line in the closing seconds, the Jazz faithful showed one last sign of hope that read "We Believe."

Kobe laughed and said, "No you don't. Now be gone before I sweep you.

Fesenko Is Baby Drago

Kyrylo Fesenko is Baby Drago- the spawn of Apollo-Creed-slaying, minimal-word-saying, Russian boxing champ Ivan Drago & his Olympic swimmer wife Ludmilla from Rocky 4. You know- "If he dies, he dies."

Baby Drago has crashed into this year's playoffs with a chance to help elevate the Utah Jazz to round 2 despite the losses of Mehmet Okur and fellow Russian Andrei Kirilenko.

Before last night's game, he said that he and the other Jazz center, Kosta Koufos, would use physical play to slow Nene of the Nuggets in the paint. "We got 12 fouls for one position. Why not take them?" Sounds just like his boxer father's line, "I must break you."

He followed through with 5 fouls in 19 minutes and the Jazz dominated when he was on the court.

Nene, if it comes to it, Dive!

Not only are the Nuggets in Baby Drago's path of destruction. Backboards are also feeling the pain. 

Maybe we'll see a broken backboard like this in Utah.

No O, No K- Not OK in Utah

Mehmet Okur's season ending Achilles injury combined with Andrei Kirilenko's strained calf have gutted the Jazz.  Denver's road to round 2 is much easier without AK-47's defense on Carmelo. Utah doesn't have another big like Okur to stretch the Nuggets' D. Carlos Boozer will be asked to do even more despite the iffy status of his strained oblique. Doesn't look good for the Jazz.

Which means Jerry Sloan is that much closer to seeing his off season pals,

Kirilenko is that much closer to quality time with his wife Masha Lopatova who gives him yearly passes to stray,

 and Boozer enters free agency earlier than expected with a fresh chance to screw over another franchise.
